Congrats! I just found this thread. I think the Papillion is super cute and kind of quirky. I just got one for Valentines Day from DH (like another poster said, the Papillion is the only LV bag that hubz likes). It fits more than I thought it would though I don't tend to carry tons of stuff so it is a good size for me. (it's the 26.)

Ya it does hold more than I thought, I have the 26 also! It's an awesome piece for my collection and I like that no other designer has made a bag like it, you know? Makes it more unique!
Exactly! It's got such a unique look to it that gives it a little twist from what many people think of with LV.
If the dimensions aren't exact, does that mean the bag is fake? I came acrross a "papillon 30" that seems to be more of a 26. It is 27.8 cm when I measured it. With 2 different rulers. It is the older Papillon with the leather interior and all other details seems to be ok, except for the dimensions.
Hi Bunnycat - I know this post is old but I saw you online and took advantage of the opportunity.
Do you still have and like your Papillion. I do not like large bags. As a matter of fact most MM bags are too large for me. I carry very few items in my handbag (wallet, cell, sanitizer, tissue, keys, icebreaker mints)
The Papillion line looks a little "youthful" but I'm ok with it as I would dress her well. I am watching a 26 in DE and wanted some thoughts . Appreciate your response.

hi luv2! I do still have my Papillon! It's a cute bag and sentimental b/c my hubby got it for me. Everything I carry fit with lots of room to spare in it. Keys, wallet, cles, glasses case, phone...I found in the end I mostly prefer shoulder carry bags, but still take it out occasionally.
Thank you for responding Bunnycat. I prefer shoulder bags also, but they have to be smaller for the "mature rebellious joints". I will give it a spin. Worst case if I don't like it - my daughter, who prefers handbags will have a special gift for Mother's Day.
BTW: Happy (2 years old) birthday
artyhat: to you and your Pap26!

I think the newer models have longer straps so shoulder carry might be possible, though mine is the older hand carry model. They are very lightweight though. I have the same shoulder problems. Thank you!

I'll update you if I make the buy. Of course it will be pre-loved.
I stayed away from the forum for a few months (surgery) and since I've been back on (45 days or so) I've purchased 3 new bags. And I have a list of "buy considerations" to take to the boutique in the near future. PF is such an enabler.

Just bought myself a pre loved watercolor Papillon and I am excited to add it to my monogram one 
There was a time where I was considering selling my Papillon 30 and I decided to keep it. The Pap was my first LV so there is some sentimental value to me. I have the older model in mono and it makes a great evening bag. This is a style/shape you don't see often and I like that.
